GOAL: To recreate old 70's/80's/90's candid streetshots of a grittier and dirtier time.

 

I've always been fascinated by old pictures of NYC. Recently there have been Facebook groups dedicated to reposting some of these normal, everyday candids and street photos of that older, dirtier time.

 

Fast forward to today, and although there are a lot more pictures being taken (mostly in the form of cellphone selfies [cell-fies?]), they don't capture that same feeling of the denseness of the city and people unaware or uncaring of the photo being taken, going about their normal business.

 

Specifically, I want to recreate the feeling I get from seeing old pictures of partygoers, revelers, and drunk people coming home at night. All photos taken on film, naturally, to heighten this recreation of a bygone era.
